On The Gersten-Witt Complex of an Azumaya Algebra with Involution
Abstract
Let be an Azumaya algebra with involution over a regular ring . We prove that the Gersten-Witt complex of defined by Gille is isomorphic to the Gersten-Witt complex of defined by Bayer-Fluckiger, Parimala and the author. Advantages of both constructions are used to show that the Gersten-Witt complex is exact when , and is orthogonal or symplectic. This means that the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture holds for the group -scheme of -unitary elements in under the same hypotheses; is not required to contain a field.
